You don't have to be standing at King's Cross to recognise Platform 9¾. This officially licensed Harry Potter candle turns that famous departure point into a hand-painted, deep-red ceramic book. Inside is scented soy wax with lime, basil and bay - a fresh mix of citrus and herbs that's lovely to have around when you're settling in at home.

Next stop, Hogwarts

Platform 9¾ is where Harry's journey to Hogwarts truly begins. Behind the barrier between platforms nine and ten, the Hogwarts Express is waiting to take students away from London and towards the castle. That's why the station sign is so much more than a number to anyone who's spent time with the stories. On this ceramic book, the familiar emblem stands out against a rich red finish, with hand-painted detailing that makes it worth keeping in view even when the candle isn't lit.

Lime, basil and bay

Lime gives the fragrance a citrus lift, while basil and bay bring a greener, aromatic side. It's a scent to enjoy because you like it, not because there's a birthday or another occasion to celebrate. The 100% plant-based soy wax is vegan and cruelty-free and hand-poured in the UK, with two wicks designed to encourage a more even burn. When lighting the candle, always use a stable, heat-resistant surface away from books and other flammable items, and never leave it unattended.

The book is yours to keep

Once you've fully used the candle, let the ceramic cool and clean it before giving it another job. It can hold pens on your desk, become a vase or stay exactly where it is as a display piece. You still get to enjoy the Platform 9¾ artwork, just without needing to light a wick. The red cover and station sign are worth keeping around, long after the wax is gone.
